Review from D H (Mother of Child) published on 15 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son had a good experience overall at First Place. The teachers were warm and nurturing and created a safe space for him to learn and grow. The outdoor space is extensive, and they ensure the children spend plenty of time outdoors. Towards the end, there was a fair bit of disruption with staff leaving
suddenly, and the communication on this was poor, which was quite unsettling when children were attached to their key worker. Our main frustrations were my child being pushed to be potty trained earlier than he was ready, so that he could be moved into a different room earlier than expected, without any collaborative conversations with us. This caused a lot of stress and the process took much longer.


They wouldn't allow him to graduate with his peers, even though he was leaving for a pre-school, which I thought was insensitive, when other nurseries allow them to even if not starting reception. Overall, it was a positive experience, but those few things created some frustrations.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our daughter at First Place. From the start, the staff were loving, caring, and approachable, building a strong rapport with her that made her settling-in process smooth. She was excited to go each day, and we saw the positive impact it had on her development.


The

nursery's commitment to broadening children's horizons was also impressive. They engaged the kids in activities related to global events, whether religious or sporting, which sparked curiosity and awareness. My daughter still talks about these experiences today.


Additionally, the staff helped her grow independently, supporting her through potty training and encouraging school readiness. The focus on life skills, like dressing herself, was invaluable.


Overall, we're incredibly grateful for the nurturing environment at First Place. It made a big difference, and I highly recommend it to any parent seeking a caring, enriching space for their child.

The staff are what make this nursery outstanding. The professionalism, loving care and energy from the staff is 100% there. Each day they have carefully thought through different activities and weekly themes which means so much learning through play. There has been very little staff turnover in the
years my son has been there which is so important for little ones to see the same faces and build up happy relationships with their teachers. I can go to work knowing my son is in trusted hands. In addition to the usual daytime hours, we've also had options of attending evening sessions helping with school readiness and potty training etc. Any issues are no problem, they've helped us no end with potty training and also with investigating a possible dairy intolerance. Practical things - easy onsite parking, it's well away from any main roads, they wear uniform so it doesn't matter if they get messy, regular updates on the app and loads of energetic outside play everyday.

Both of our children are at this nursery. I feel relaxed during the day knowing they are properly cared for and happy. The building is shabby but if you look beyond this, the staff are lovely. Something that stands out to me is that they are all friends and socialise outside of work. A happy team makes
for happy children.

The staff at First Place are brilliant. They really get to know each and every child - a benefit of a smaller nursery - and are adept at adapting to different children's needs and preferences. We particularly like the emphasis placed on outdoor play, with open access to the garden most of the time for
children to play outside. Our child has forged some great friendships and has developed hugely in terms of confidence and skills. Thank you to the First Place team

My little girl joined First Place Nursery when she was 17 months and we have been so happy with the care she has received ever since. The staff are amazing with a real nurturing nature and we have found my daughter has a great relationship with all of them. We are well-informed about what she gets up
to with regular check-ins regarding her development within the nursery setting.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is amazing thanks to its professional and kind teachers with a creative approach to all activities they do.
The nursery has a good location with handy parking, the current building is not ideal and when the new one is ready it will be much better, but it’s still quite cosy and well organized
and with big outside playground compensate.
Our child didn’t speak English but care and kindness helped him to integrate and pick up the language. After 3 months he already sings songs and has made new friends.
We feel that all key aspects such as care, safety, encouragement to learning, social and emotional development are fully respected and promoted by the staff.
100% recommended.

The team at First Place are amazing and supports their children’s development with both passion, knowledge and care. I am happy to know that our little ones' early years will be full of memories of those who cared for them and helped them learn so much about having fun, playing making friends, listening,
counting, drawing writing and developing a love of learning.
You have to love the job you are doing and so many of us parents couldn’t do this without you.
It takes a village to bring up a child and you are a part of our village.

Our fifteen month old daughter has joined the First Place Nursery Beaconsfield in November 2020. The staff are very friendly, approachable and caring. They have this special connection with every child they look after. The activities that they do with the kids are very engaging and stimulating. Our
daughter absolutely loves being part of this nursery and always comes back home with a big smile on her face. She feels very comfortable with the members of staff. It's amazing to see how mush she's developed since she joined the nursery. This is an amazing place for your child!

My daughter has been attending Beaconsfield First Place Nursery, only since December 2020, and I can tell she already really loves it here. We literally viewed this Nursery and didn’t need to view any others, as we just knew it was the right environment for our daughter. The Manager was very engaging
and the staff are really supportive and give regular and insightful feedback on my daughter's development and progress. My daughter gets so excited every morning on the way to the Nursery and asks to go there at weekends, which makes me feel very confident and assured this is the best Nursery we could have possibly chosen. We are looking forward to seeing how our daughter progresses and flourishes here, with the very capable support and guidance from the lovely team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attended First Place Nursery Beaconsfield from the age of 1 year up until she started school at 4.5 years old. I can't recommend the nursery highly enough. The staff always came across friendly and engaged incredibly well with the children. They always had time to talk if you needed advice
and were caring to each individual child and their differing needs. My daughter settled well at 1 year old and the calm but fun environment of the baby room was perfect for her. My daughter has been at school now for 6 months but still talks about the staff and children that she met there and the fun things they used to do. First Place gave her an incredible start for school. She has settled well at school and is flying along without a care in the world. She started reading as if she had known it all her life and we could tell that it was because of the great teaching that First Place gave to her in the pre-school room. Just go take a look, meet the staff and the superiority is obvious.

Review from A C (Grandmother of Child) published on 3 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My granddaughter has attended First Place Nursery Beaconsfield for nearly 2 years.
Beaconsfield is set in a secure gated community, with ample parking and lots of open garden space to explore.
The staff are enthusiastic, warm and caring. Activities are carefully planned to stimulate and develop her
learning. Her transition from the baby room to toddler room was effortless.
She bounds into the door every morning happy to see her key worker and her peers, enthusiastic to see what the day holds. She enjoys the messy play, reading books and the wonderful outdoor space. Sharing information is simple and quick through eylog. It gives great insight into what my granddaughter gets up to during the day, with photos and explanations. Her mother adds her own photos to eylog sharing the learning experiences.
The manager is always on hand to talk, she is kind and caring, she clearly has an excellent rapport with both the children and the staff.

First Place Nursery Beaconsfield is a beautiful nursery in a brilliant location with ample parking. The nursery has great facilities including an app where we received lovely photos and reports. They have a wonderful garden.
Most importantly the staff every single member are attentive, greatly qualified,
kind and quite frankly super hero's. We cannot ask for better people to love, guide and educate our little ones. This is a wonderful nursery which we would choose every time.

Our son, 13 months, started nursery in September and it was so hard to let go of him. But finding this nursery just made it feel like he is home from home. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they will go out of their way to make the kids comfortable. They always wear such beautiful smiles at pick
up/drop off and are always happy and sending a beautiful energy.
Our son loves going there and feels like the girls are his second mum. The premises are clean, safe and secure and be very have I had any issues. After viewing a number of different nurseries in the area, I knew First Place is the nursery we were settling for as it felt positive from the start. Well done everyone.

My daughter joined the nursery in August during the COVID19 pandemic. The team at first place did everything within their power to enable a safe and happy start for her. She has settled in very well and I feel regularly reassured that she's having a fabulous time. The team use the eylog to share photo's
and notes on the daily activities it's a great insight, especially as parents can't currently enter the building.

Our daughter's been at the nursery for almost a month now and we are so happy with the nursery and how well she is getting on. The staff are so warm and caring and give our daughter fun and challenging things to do that stretch her. She is so happy after spending the day there and we see developments
daily. We know she is being cared for so well and it's like leaving her with family.
The staff are really thoughtful - they printed out some photos of our daughter feeding herself for - and really know our child well.

This is an absolutely incredible nursery where staff take care of the smallest of things that matter to you. My little one has been coming here for almost a year (minus the national lockdown period) and she literally cannot wait to walk through the doors in the morning. She is always so happy going
in and coming back. She had some dietary needs at the start and I had complete peace of mind these would be taken care of. Everyone is so approachable. Bonus was the sleep room in the baby area. Wish I knew about this nursery for my older son. Would highly recommend.

We visited quite a few nurseries, but what stood out most at First Place Nursery was how incredible the staff were with the children. The deputy manager (at the time) took us around the classes and in every class, the children ran up to her giving her cuddles. She was incredibly engaging and loving
with the kids and I could see that the kids were genuinely happy!
Right from the 1st day every single member of staff has always been friendly, kind, loving, accommodating and all-round brilliant to us and our children. Both my children absolutely love the teachers. They are treated with kindness and their development has been amazing. Every child really does matter and his or her achievements are celebrated.
They run into nursery with a skip and a hop and always come home with fun stories, new skills, and the biggest smiles. Sending them to First Place Beaconsfield was undoubtedly one of our best decisions as parents so far!

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.985)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.985) out of 10 for First Place Nursery Beaconsfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.653 for First Place Nursery Beaconsfield is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.653
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.332 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for First Place Nursery Beaconsfield is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 41 number of registered child places is 8.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.2 = 0.732
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
